Becoming «Rocket League» pros – part 1
by Philipp Rüegg
The time has come: after two weeks of shedding blood, sweats and tears in intense training sessions, Simon, Luca and I are ready to take on the pros. At about 9:15 p.m., our match against Edelweiss Esports is kicking off.
Seriously, though, it would take a miracle for Simon, Luca and I not to suffer a colossal defeat today. Our opponents are five-time «TCS Rocket League» champion Edelweiss Esports. Sure, we made progress at our training session last week with coaches Nukes and Zaphare, but we still suffered a heavy defeat – even though we outnumbered them. So the chances of beating a full team of pros are rather slim.
But we’re not going to let this discourage us. We’ll fight with desperate courage. We have nothing to lose. Well, definitely no reputation in the «Rocket League» scene. Play the «Rocky theme», as
our livestream begins at about 9:15 p.m. on Twitch and YouTube. You can also find our past episodes there. Please not that we might run slightly late. For once, not because of our technical inability, but because Edelweiss Esports has a league game before our battle.
More «Rocket League» will follow on 5 June 2021 when the fourth edition of our digitec Playground event takes place.
Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
